Chapter 2: The City Has Always Been a Happiness Project

 The City Has Always Been a Happiness Project

• the greatest of human satisfactions lies in working and playing cooperatively with other people.
• cities must be regarded as more than engines of wealth; they must be viewed as systems that should be shaped to improve human well-being.
• most people would opt for a life that was less pleasant, but one that involved real challenges, real striving, real pleasure and pain.
